Vantage North Shore is a leading local manufacturer of aluminium joinery, specialising in high-quality windows and doors. With a focus on craftsmanship, innovation, and customer service, the company plays a key role in shaping homes and commercial spaces across the region. Aligned with its major supplier, Architectural Profiles Limited (APL), Vantage shares in the ethos of encouraging excellence both within its business and through its community involvement—drawing inspiration from APL’s long-standing sponsorship of national sports teams.
Vantage has proudly supported the North Harbour Club (NHC) for close to a decade, first becoming involved through family connections with life member Gary Monk. What began as an introduction has since grown into a meaningful partnership that celebrates and fosters youth achievement.
A cornerstone of this partnership is the unwavering support of Director Paul Bayer and his wife Pam, who have been sole sponsors of the AIMES Youth Excellence Awards Scholarship category throughout their involvement. Their loyalty and belief in the power of youth development have made a lasting impact, helping talented young people pursue their goals with confidence and support.
Pam has also contributed her time and expertise as an AIMES Awards Judge—a role that requires immense dedication. With the calibre of applicants and the sheer volume of detailed submissions, it’s no small task. Her commitment to carefully reviewing each application speaks volumes about the integrity and heart behind Vantage’s sponsorship.
Among the many highlights of their involvement, the most memorable moments come when AIMES Award recipients acknowledge Vantage’s support from the stage or the field. A recent standout was at the Takapuna Winter Lights event, where AIMES Scholarship Award winner Nathan Fry gave the team a mid-performance nod and smile—a small but powerful reminder of the difference their backing can make.
Vantage’s sponsorship aligns seamlessly with its values, reinforcing a commitment to supporting future generations. Their involvement has helped recipients fund equipment, travel, and event participation, creating a ripple effect of opportunity not only for the young achievers themselves but also for their families and communities. This community-focused approach dovetails with the Club’s mission of celebrating and supporting the region’s youth.
Networking through the Club has also brought direct benefits for Vantage. Members regularly seek their expertise for home and holiday property renovations, strengthening business connections while deepening community ties. The company sees sponsorship not only as brand alignment but as a chance to contribute meaningfully to local growth and success.
Vantage encourages other businesses to consider joining the NHC sponsorship family, noting the dual benefits of exposure and engagement. As they put it, supporting the Club “creates a positive vibe within your company, knowing your involvement is helping North Harbour youth.” It’s an investment in both people and community—one that pays dividends far beyond business.
